The Health and Fitness Gift List

    1. 1. I love this water bottle!

30oz Inspirational Fitness Workout Sports Water Bottle with Time Marker | Measurements | Goal Marked Times Bottle For Measuring Your H2O Intake, BPA Free Non-toxic Tritan (Think Pink Fuchsia)

This pretty water bottle includes inspirational words to keep you motivated and uplifted. The water bottle is BPA free as well. My favorite water bottles provide a time marker/measurement indicator on the bottle so that you can be sure you are taking in enough water throughout your day.

2. Fitbit

I am so excited about this Fitbit! Fitbit Charge 3 Fitness Activity Tracker, Graphite/Black, One Size (S & L Bands Included)is amazing and looks cool too! Just like the other fitbits, you can track your steps, workouts, calorie burn, sleep, receive call and text notifications, and many more features. Th charge 3 also includes guided breathing sessions and is waterproof! I would LOVE to get this as a Christmas gift (wink, wink to my husband)

3. Fitbit Bands

Ok, so if your loved one gets this Fitbit or has another Fitbit, you may want to give Fitbit accessories as a gift like a pretty Fitbit band. I am in love with the teal color band for the Fitbit! Check it out and other pretty colors by clicking the link below:

5. Fitness Dice

This next fitness gift is a cute inexpensive item that your fun health and fitness conscience friend would get a kick out of.  This gift is called Fitness Dice by Strength Stack 52. Bodyweight Exercise Workout Game. Designed by a Military Fitness Expert. Video Instructions Included. No Equipment Needed. Burn Fat and Build Muscle at Home. You just roll the dice to see which workout you will do next. This keeps your exercises interesting, and the dice are easy to carry with you when you are traveling. I would be so happy if someone got me these dice.

6. Color In Yoga Mat

I cannot believe this is even a thing. I love all things personalized, and I love coloring. This is a Luna Yoga Coloring Yoga Mat. Did you get that! You get to color your own yoga/fitness mat!!!! They have several different prints to choose from.

7. Personalized Duffle Bag

Sticking with the personalized theme, this is a PERSONALIZED Duffle Bag or Monogrammed Gym Bag by BROAD BAY. My favorite part is the compartment at the bottom where you can carry your dirty shoes separately.

8. Include a Cooling Towel in a New Gym Bag

I actually mentioned the gym bag purposely above these next few gifts.  If you really want to wow someone special with an amazing gift, you could fill the above gym bag with a few of these smaller items like a water bottle such as the inspirational one mentioned above and the Chill Pal (Blue) PVA Cooling Towel Stay Cool Towel Cold Towel Sports Towel Chill Towels For Sports Men Dogs Kids Neck Bulk Athletes Instant Cooling Relief Yoga Camping Workout Running.

9. Fill a Gym Bag with Healthy Snacks

You could also add your friends favorite healthy snacks and nutrient replenishers to the gym bag like CLIF BAR – Energy Bar – Chocolate Chip – (2.4 Ounce Protein Bar, 12 Count) and Nuun Hydration: Electrolyte Drink Tablets, Juicebox Mix, Box of 4 Tubes

12. Faith and Fitness Journal

I am a huge believer in journaling. I especially like journaling about my fitness journeys and my spiritual growth. The 40 Days of Faith and Fitness: A Devotional Journal lets you journal about both!

13. Food Journal

If you friend would rather have a straight health and fitness journal, try the Fitlosophy Fitbook: Fitness Planner and Food Journal, Black Single (12-Week)

16. Health and Fitness Inspired Purses

I want this MILATA Fruit Pineapple Shaped Women Pu Leather Clutch Purse Cross Body Bag (yellow)! They have several other fruit shaped purses as well! What a cute accessory for the health professional or the health conscience.

17. Insulated Water (Instead of Wine) Purse

Okay so the Luxury Insulated Wine Clutch – Black Crocodile is technically for wine, but what a great way to keep your water cool and your veggie snacks fresh.  You can have healthy snacks wherever you go! I mean, its a cooler…in a purse! How awesome is that!

18. Fitness Cookie cutters!

Enough said! You CAN make your cookies healthier too! Yoga Silhouette Cutter Set

That is it! My favorite health and fitness gifts! Which were your favorites?

How to Get Coupons and Discounts When You Shop For Gifts

Lastly, I don’t want to write a shopping post without mentioning how to save money on many Amazon products plus products from a huge list of other stores. I always check three free apps before I buy anything.

These apps are Ibotta, Coupons.com, Ebates, and Swagbucks

Ibotta and Coupons.com

Ibotta and Coupons.com are very similar. I simply go to the app, select the coupons I want to use before I shop, and then I shop. I can either through the app if I am shopping online, or I can shop in a store and scan my receipt after I shop to get the rebates I selected. You can also add rewards cards to your app, and the rebates are used atomatically when you scan your store rewards card. For example, my Food Lion Card is on the app. I pick out the coupons I want to use on the app before I shop. Then when the cashier scans my card at checkout, the discounts are included.

These apps are totally free. To sign up for Ibotta, click on the link below:

Ibotta.com

Sign up from coupons.com below:

Coupons.com 

Swagbucks

I also like to use Swagbucks. For this app you get points for shopping at certain stores. These store selection is huge. I can buy all kinds of things like items on amazon or a birthday present for my daughter at The American Girl store and earn points. You can also earn points by answering daily questions and taking surveys through the swagbucks app. You can use the points to get gift cards!!! And these are legit great gift cards. You can get $25 gift cards to Amazon, Bath & Body Works, Walmart and so much more! It is pretty amazing. Start getting swagbucks as my referral by clicking on the link below:

Swagbucks.com.

Ebates

The final app I use is ebates. You can buy all kinds of products and save. Again, this app gives you discounts to a huge number of popular stores like Kohl’s, “Bed, Bath, and Beyond”, and of course, Amazon. The list goes on and on. Whenever I am about to buy somehting online, I check this app along with the other three apps to see if a coupon or rebate is available. You can download this app as my referral by clicking on the Ebates button below.
